Why the study?
The study was conducted to estimate the rate of AF among Jordanian patients and identify clinical signs, symptoms, diagnostic criteria, complications, prognosis, and management.
This cross-sectional study of Jordanian patients with atrial fibrillation highlights a high prevalence of hypertension (73.01%) and older age, emphasizing the need for targeted preventive programs.
AF in Jordanian patients was associated with older age and hypertension; leaves open targeted prevention needs in high-risk groups.
To estimate the rate of atrial fibrillation (AF) among Jordanian patients, and to identify the clinical data ofsigns and symptoms, diagnostic criteria, complications, prognosis and management. A cross-sectional studyinvolving total- 126-AF patients who admitted to Prince Hamzah Hospital with diagnosis of AF. The studywas begun from January 2018 to July 2019. A non-probability (Convenience) sample of (126) patients withatrial fibrillation who are admitted to the cardiac unit at Prince Hamzah Hospital. A special standardizedquestion form is designed and to be filled by researcher after patient signing his consent paper. The studyincluded (126) Atrial Fibrillation Jordanian patients. The result find the age is important risk factor for atriapatient. The high percentage of patients distributed among old age group. AF was associated with chronicdiseases, such as hypertension (73.01%). In spite of the fact that atrial fibrillation is expected to be anepidemic disease within the next 20-30 years, no clear preventive programs especially for those who havehigh risk like diabetes mellitus, hypertension, ischemic heart disease and overweight regarding educationand changing lifestyle to reduce the incidence of atrial fibrillation.
